Just wanted to let you all know that I am trying to keep up with posting a few items here and there on my "Etsy". I figure the winter months are a good time to push my Etsy shop, so I added a gallery here on my blog that you will see on the right hand side. Please keep in mind that I do custom orders also so if you see something that you like and want a different colour or what have you just send me a message through my etsy page and we can go from there. Here are two listing that I listed earlier today!

Ugh, I finally started my studio makeover today and it wasn't fun! I cleared out as much as I could so I could begin refinishing my hardwood floors. As if painting and wallpaper won't be enough!!! I have a desk from the 1920's/30's that I bought about 8 years ago, it is super huge and there was no way I was able to move it out and back into the room so along an armoire I use as storage I had to some how work on the floors and move these two pieces around, all I have to say is "my back it killing me!"

Here is the "before" photo.

Here is the "after" of what I have gotten done for today. The floors look horrible in this photo but I think it is because I just polyurethaned them. I am hoping!

So...along with preparing for Christmas I have been very busy! Here are a couple of small projects I have made in the past week:

A Coffee Cozy...

And a Record Bowl...
